Abstract Objective To identify areas that present a higher risk of exposure to accidents with scorpions in Brazil. Methods We used techniques spatial prioritisation determine the most vulnerable localities envenomation by four scorpion species. Our integrated ecological niche models health investment, antivenin availability, access care facilities and metrics human impact data. Results The indicated three species ( Tityus bahiensis, serrulatus , stigmurus ) are more associated population...
Abstract Current predictions about the responses of species to climate change strongly rely on projecting altered environmental conditions their distributions. In this study, we investigated effects future scenarios potential distribution 10 scorpions in north‐eastern Brazil context degree specialisation closed (Atlantic and Amazon Forests) open (Caatinga Cerrado) habitats. Scorpion were classified as habitat specialists or generalists according IndVal index, present models prepared using...
Abstract Many modern crop varieties rely on animal pollination to set fruit and seeds. Intensive plantations usually do not provide suitable habitats for pollinators so yield may depend the surrounding vegetation maintain services. However, little is known about effect of pollinator‐mediated interactions among co‐flowering plants or underlying mechanisms. Plant reproductive success complex, involving several pre‐ post‐pollination events; however, current literature has mainly focused...
Even when an animal has a generalist diet, different food sources can impact its body shape and fluctuating asymmetry (a stress indicator; FA). To test this, we varied the source (mammalian, avian or defibrinated mammalian blood; control animals - ad libitum feeding) time of feeding (every 8 days, 45 days libitum) having Chagas triatomine vector, Triatoma pallidipennis (Stål, 1892), as study which presumable habits. This factorial design was applied since first instar until adulthood. As...
Floral visitors are often overlooked in those plants considered invasive and widespread weed species. Martynia annua L. is an example of introduced species to the old world being native from tropical America, however, information its endemic pollinators Neotropical region missing. In this study, floral M. were evaluated Chamela Field Station (Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve) Jalisco, Mexico. Our aim was provide breeding system then indicate potential pollinators. We included morphological...
